Intro: Hold G chord and play bottom and top string alternately 6 times starting and ending on the bass note.
G Em
As sweet as a plum
C G
And lovely as dawn
C G D
Rolling its tongue over its gums
G Em
Like tiger and me
C G
As happy as could be
C D
Sat out on the porch
Bm C
As the whole of the sky
Am D
Clouds quietly over
Bm C
And it starts to cry
Am D
Softly on my shoulder
Am D
We don't want to grow up
Am D
But we have to grow up
G Em
As sad as I am
C G
I do understand
C G
I do understand,
D
It just makes me sad
G Em
My tiger my heart
C G
We're growing apart
C D
We're trying to be friends
Bm C
But it's hard sometimes
Am D
To be friends with something
Bm C
That eats butterflies
Am D
And pencil sharpeners
Am D
And i think it would be
Am D
Happier being free
G Em
My tiger my friend
C G
My little godsend
C G D
I know someday we'll be happy again

Lovely little song about growing up, best played on a steel string acoustic.
